All these films are favorites I watch during the summer months. All are films I have watched many times over the years and have commented on before.

The Sisters (1938) Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, Anita Louise. Jane Bryan, Henri Travers, Buelah Bondi. A wonderful "Matinee' Ladies" film. I was a young girl and would come home from school and there would be my Mom and a friend or two talking about the movie they had seen that afternoon at the downtown movie palace where a Bette or Loretta or any of the other "women-who-suffer" latest film was playing. This one has small town in Montana women, finding the men who will become their partners in life. Bette picks bounder Errol, who she sticks by through thick and thin, even the San Francisco earthquate. Bette suffers the most, but it is the sister who stays in Montana who finally brings them all back together, to help her solve a scandle involving a local femme fatale who is after the youngest sister's banker husband. The episodic film has major time shifts bookended by the Presidential elections and large celebration balls. The final one with Taft beating Teddy Roosevelt has a lovely shot of each of the women coming from different parts of the ballroom as the camera follows each to the center where they meet and as the celebration goes on, they stand with their arms arond each others waist, as the camera tracks back and up. They are highlighted in a glow, and it is just a very moving, lovely end to the film. All three actresses have never been filmed more beautifully. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0030755/

My list of more recent films coming up.   My last week has been spent replacing my big screen TV which suddenly went dark.  Going back to my old 39 incher I keep in my office, was a downer.  But now I have a new 55 inch Vizio with internet - and - 3D if I want it.  I know it is smarter than I am.  Hahahahaha!
